Some things I found while cleaning up
It’s that time of year where ya give away a bunch of old stuff to make way for the new Christmas presents which arrived. I had a lot of boxes to get through it turns out. The highlights:
A very old (2001 era, I think) Arwen toy! She’s from Burger King I think, and looks less like Liv Tyler than anything else in the world could conceivably look less like Liv Tyler.
A mysterious unmarked floppy disk. I would love to put this in a computer and find out what’s on it! But I can’t because they don’t make computers with floppy disk drives anymore.
Swimming badge feat. Smiley whale
This very old choker from the ’90s era… which is now more or less back in fashion again, dang.
Charmander trapped in carbonite
A VERY VERY old glowstick bracelet! I had to throw it away because who knows what the hell those chemicals are doing in there.
A handful of Pokemon.. thingies? from 2001.
A pamphlet advertising a Star Wars exhibition. I think I must’ve got this while visiting France but when exactly I was there cannot say.
A big ol’ Pokemon advertisement from 2001.
!! I never thought I’d see this again! Back in the days when the kid’s show Diggit (part of GMTV I think) was a thing, my family won some signed stuff from the two presenters. Fearne went onto bigger things, Des didn’t. (Sorry Des.)
A knitted medal with my name on. WHAT WAS I FIRST AT?!?!
Another thing with my name on, this time a dolphin badge. I think this was probably one of those badges you get in gift shops where you have to pick out your own name. Kids love those things.
Some A4 posters of my favourite Jedi that graced my wall for a good few years.
And lastly, this appallingly unlucky Mr Mime.
